Orlando to host next year’s Site Global Conference
Orlando was chosen as the home for the 2013 Site Global Conference. The event will be held December 6-8 at the Loew’s Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando.
On an annual basis this event brings together professionals from over 40 countries who focus on creating excellence and establishing standards in the motivational experiences industry.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for Site attendees from all around the world to come and see many of the new developments in Orlando," said Tammi Runzler, Senior VP of Sales & Service for the Orlando Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. "The destination continues to evolve at an amazing pace, and so many of the new hotels, attractions, and amenities that have recently come onboard are truly ideal for the incentive travel market. "
"The destination is a master in the hosting of VIP global visitors, corporate and association meetings. Orlando’s scale, diverse visitor attractions, world-class hotels and massive air lift make it an ideal destination for our marquis Site event," said David Sand, Site 2013 President-Elect and CEO of Uwin Iwin Incentives, Johannesburg, South Africa.
The city was recently named by a CNN panel of travel experts as one of the Top 10 Global Destinations to visit in 2012.
2013 will be a milestone year for Site as it celebrates its 40th anniversary as a global association for the incentive travel and motivational events industry. Site began as a forum launched in 1973 when 11 incentive travel colleagues created the first international nonprofit association dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in incentive travel and motivational events.
Since its official incorporation almost 40 years ago, Site has grown to nearly 2,000 members in 90 countries with 28 regional chapters.
